Visits to other private colleges often reinforces the tyranny of the market on the academy, and of course academics, if lecturers would even dare to call themselves 'scholars' these days.
Just as McDonald's had been accused of encouraging 'Pester Power' among children who emotionally blackmail or extort their parents to patronise the franchise, 'McD's Unis' should be tried and found guilty for 'giving too much face' to mostly rich, and even not-so-rich, kids to treat education as a commodity with a price tag and thus teachers, a more appropriate and humbling term for lecturers at private colleges and universities, as no different from McDonald's servers.
Indeed, the day may soon arrive when your McD's Uni lecturer asks, "Would you like an A+ with that, Sir/Madam/Master/Miss?"
